Thanks Lee for sharing her swissroll recipe. Baked some for my nieces and nephews yesterday for a family party. The children loved it very much that they gobbled few pcs at one go. It's so soft and yummy!

My 11th years old niece, Yee-Ling gave me 2 pretty gifts yesterday. Is a token of appreciation from her for sharing with her most of my bakes. She loves cakes, muffins and cupcakes with frosting very much. Glad that she loves them.

Thank you, Yee-Ling!

Mandy recommended using Lindt cocoa bar for ratna's cupcakes recipe. Went to NTUC at WS to search for it and i bought 2 different types, 85% & 70% cocoa bars. I did 2 batches using different cocoa bars and of course the aroma is very much stronger for 85% lah! It smells good during the process of baking and after baked, mil and ds gobbled few pcs at one go! It sure very tasty and I'm very sure that all chocolate lovers gonna love these! It's very chocolatey, very rich!

Method:-1. Place butter and chocolate in a bowl. Stand in hot water until melted. Leave to cool.2. Beat eggs and salt together. Add sugar to eggs mixture, beat thoroughly.3. Add in vanilla essence and butter/choco mixture.4. Add in sifted flour,cocoa powder & baking powder. Mix well.5. Add in toppings as desired. Pour batter into a baking tray with baking paper. 6. Preheat oven at 180c and bake for abt 25 mins. Use a skewer to test for doneness.

It's my brother, Samuel's b'day on 3rd May. We had an early celebration on May Day, 1st May, tim-sum at Crystal Jade Tampines. The Q was so long that we waited 45 mins to get a table. The reason being they only ve 2 bigger tables that can sit 10 or more pax. It took us not more than one hour to finish the food cos we were too hungry liao... We did some shopping at Metro and Isetan after our makan.
